given the same amt of 512MB of memory...
you will get different results because: ( my guess )
	- swap space usage
	- different libs
	- different kernels
	- different gcc
	- different disk format ( stuff read back into memory )
	- different motherboard ( bios, if it happens to be doing upper
		memory management )
	- different blah
